Monaco returns as round 8 on the 2026 calendar, running June 5-7 around the 3.3-kilometre, 14-turn street circuit that's hosted F1 since the championship's first season. It'll be the 72nd points-paying Monaco Grand Prix, with a race distance of 78 laps.
Lando Norris is the defending winner, having delivered McLaren victory in the Principality last year. The weekend sticks with the traditional three-practice format — two sessions Friday, a third Saturday morning before qualifying — and the grand prix lights out at 15:00 local on Sunday.
